I can’t say enough wonderful things about this daycare! From day one, the staff made us feel welcomed and supported. My daughter absolutely loves coming here—she’s grown so much in confidence, creativity, and social skills. The teachers are genuinely caring, patient, and always go the extra mile to make each child feel special. The communication is excellent, the environment is safe and clean, and I feel completely at ease knowing she’s in such good hands. We are so grateful to have found this place. Highly recommend!

Very grateful for fun and safe environment for my kids to enjoy their day. The teachers are amazing and truly prioritize kids needs on individual basis. Special thanks to Ms. Natiana for making my son's VPK experience the best we could ask for. She is very kind, supportive and always received him with a smile. Also, to Ms. Ashley & Ms. Hope for creating a warm welcome daily for my 3 yr old daughter to be eager to attend everyday, which wasn't so easy in the beginning during her 2 yr old class. She is now happy to go to school & loves her teachers very much. Admin staff Ms. Lourdes is very experienced and treated us with kindness and respect from the very first day. Just watch out for Director Ms. Mary Rivas, let's just say her attitude isn't always so friendly. Can be triggering and unprofessional at times. Hopefully that gets better. Overall, I would highly recommend Academy for kids to other parents to achieve their day care & preschool goals.

I want to take a moment to give a huge shoutout to Mrs. Hope and her incredible 3-year-old class at Academy for Kids. When I transferred my son to this school, I was hesitant and cautious, as most parents would be when making a big change. But from day one, Mrs. Hope and the entire staff made the transition as smooth and welcoming as possible. Mrs. Hope has been nothing short of amazing. She successfully helped potty train my son, a milestone I didn’t expect to reach so smoothly. She also goes above and beyond to support my son's specific dietary needs. He’s a very picky eater and requires special milk, and Mrs. Hope has worked closely with me to ensure he is cared for and comfortable every single day. Her attention to detail and willingness to collaborate with parents speaks volumes about her dedication. What truly sets Mrs. Hope apart is her genuine love for the children. Every student in her classroom adores her. She teaches with structure, patience, and passion. She holds the children accountable in the most nurturing way and also holds the parents accountable, which I personally appreciate and respect. She’s the kind of teacher who makes a lasting impact on a child's life and development. If your child is between the ages of 2 and 3, I highly recommend enrolling them in her class. Mrs. Hope is the type of teacher who deserves a raise, not just for what she teaches, but for how she loves, supports, and grows each child in her care. From a parent who is admittedly a tough critic, this praise doesn’t come lightly. Thank you again, Academy for Kids, and thank you especially to Mrs. Hope. You’ve made a world of difference in our lives. With gratitude, Jessica

I am immensely grateful for the amazing teachers at Academy for Kids! My son has been a part of the AFK family since he was three years old, and their VPK program has been truly outstanding. By the time he graduated, he had mastered manipulating sounds, words, and rhyme, which has greatly improved his reading skills and more. I cannot thank you all enough for your dedication and hard work. And let's not forget about the fantastic Summer Camp - you guys are absolutely amazing! Keep up the great work!

As a mom, choosing a daycare is one of the hardest decisions to make. I researched every option in the area before choosing Academy for Kids, and I can wholeheartedly say it was the best decision for my daughters. My journey with Academy for Kids began with my oldest daughter, who attended VPK with Ms. Bambi. To this day, I credit Ms. Bambi as a major influence in my daughter’s academic foundation and success. Her dedication, warmth, and genuine love for teaching left such a mark on us that I still find myself comparing every teacher to her. When it came time to find care for my younger daughter, who was almost one at the time, I was filled with anxiety. I had never been away from my kids while they were so young. But then I met Ms. Andrea, the incredible teacher for the one-year-old classroom, and my fears went away. Her calming presence and nurturing heart were exactly what I needed to feel peace, and what my daughter needed to thrive. From day one, my daughter connected with her, and Ms. Andrea kept me updated throughout the day, which meant the world to me. Several months later, my daughter still wakes up excited to see Ms. Andrea. She truly is everything I could hope for in a caregiver - loving, attentive, patient, and so much fun. If I could, I’d keep my daughter in her classroom until kindergarten! I also have to give credit to the administrative staff, Ms. Mary and Ms. Lourdes, who are consistently warm, welcoming, and engaged. They know my children by name, understand their personalities, and always keep me in the loop with anything important. Their kindness and communication make me feel like I’m not just dropping my child off at a daycare. I’m bringing her to a place where she’s genuinely loved and looked after. I feel like Academy for Kids has become an extension of our family. The peace of mind I have while working, knowing my daughter is safe, happy, and thriving, is priceless. I’ll always be grateful for the incredible team that makes this place feel like home.
